Has anyone ever deployed to Kuwait? We're going in December and we'll be there for 15 months. Comments advice?

Interesting how those who have responded all got a 'thumbs down' on their rating.....


It's flippin' hot in the summer, chilly and wet in the winter.


One person said to bring on the Gold Bond---so very true!!


It's a post that has all the comforts of home---fast food, shopping, etc. It's 'safe' as far as other FOB's and Camps go.





Another person said to ask before taking a person's picture---very true. And do not touch a woman or speak to them without a male present. Do not offer to shake hands with someone unless they offer their's first.





You'll be getting a 'handbook' on their culture as well as neighboring countries as well. Read it, it'll help you as well as teach you some basic sentences.Has anyone ever deployed to Kuwait? We're going in December and we'll be there for 15 months. Comments advice?

My brother has been there. I'm not sure what it's like now, but I know two years ago, it was pretty peaceful as far as overseas goes. Sorry, I guess this isn't too helpful. God bless, though. I'm so grateful for people like you who serve our country. I'll keep you in my prayers!
Stopped in Kuwait on my way to Iraq. Pretty decent conditions out there and this was back in 2003. No telling how it may be now.


It gets cold out there don't remember if it snows or not. During the summer it is very hot and dry.
Bring some Goldbond Medicated Powder. My husband is just returning and it's HOT. I'm sure you'll get tons of better advice than mine, but that's what I've got for you! Gold Bond up!
